In this week’s mid-week mishmash, I’ve got some new finds from our friends over at Target, an update on this week’s sale happenings over at Nordstrom, a look at the all new Anthropologie & Co. here in Palo Alto, and a special promo and introduction to a new label for gals on the go, GoPants!

WhoWhatWear

Target’s most recent collection from WhoWhatWear includes some great pieces, for pulling together the look for less this holiday season!

These amazing pants combine a loose fit, light fabric and fun patterns. They machine wash beautifully and are super wrinkle resistant. They come in a very cute GoPouch and are perfect for your upcoming winter getaway – so pack and go!

Available now in 2 styles, the Julie (what I am wearing here) and the new Michelle, a flare bottom with a lower rise. What I love about this pant it the unique waistband – it’s flattering and comfortable!

Note: this is not an affiliate link, but I did receive a pair of GoPants to review and photograph, to help fellow mom Claudia (GoPants co-founder) with her new venture!

Anthropologie & Co.

The happiest place on earth for Anthro lovers, just got better!

Last week, an all new mega Anthropologie & Co. opened in my town, right here in Palo Alto!

My daughter and I were fortunate to be able to attend the opening cocktail party last Thursday night, and what an event it was!

Beautifully executed, the attention to detail in this fabulous store was over the top! Decked and ready for the Holidays, the sales people alone were worth going to see, in their gorgeous gowns and faux fur. From the Terrain garden shop, to the extensive shoe area, this is a must visit for any Anthro lover! Plan a few hours and stay for lunch or coffee…you’ll be happy you did!

These days, Black Friday Sales are Thanksgiving Week Sales … with a kick on Cyber Monday. Nordstrom has already been marking down inventory along with other retailers. My suggestion is to shop now, put what you love in your cart and watch to see if it goes on sale. By doing so, I find I don’t buy something ‘just because it’s a great deal”. Also, many retailers offer a generous adjustment period, so if I see something I like this week, I usually grab it – keep my receipt – in the event it get’s a second markdown. The following are a few, of the large amount of markdowns, that caught my eye. In addition, there are a ton of Ugg boots and slippers on sale, Tory Burch and Premium Denim – with more markdowns still be taken.

Thursday Update! Select items are now an additional 20% off the sale price!

Hi Anna!
You are right, it gets pretty wild around here this weekend each year..and it seems like each year it gets more and more competitive. I did pick up a few great pieces which I posted tonight on the blog. I too am a big fan of both wrap skirts and wrap dresses…i am a sucker for a DVF vintage wrap dress!

What fabulous pieces!!! I am in love with it all, but my favorite is the Target bomber. I actually have a similar jacket (OK 2 of them) that I always forget to wear. I may just pull one out tomorrow! XOXO Susan http://www.themidlifefashionista.com
